For the third day, residents of Aytos, Burgas region, will go out in protest tonight because of the carelessness of the institutions and with a request to build a bypass road in the area, which will take the heavy traffic out of the town. Dozens of trucks loaded with grain pass through the town every day, Daniela Kostadinova from BNR Burgas reported.

Last week, a heavy-load truck crashed into a car near a playground, killing a 33-year-old man and his children aged 6 and 9. A total of about 25 people died back in time in accidents at the same place.

"This is a place for recreation for children and mothers, and it has turned into a cemetery," the mayor of Aytos Vasil Edrev told BNR.
